Here’s the steps I take:
-
- I check in once a day.
-
- I scan all the new messages down to the “last visit” marker looking at the subforum name on each post to see if there’s anything of interest in forums I don’t regularly read (like this one).
-
- I visit the General forum and scan for interesting posts.
-
- I visit the Getting Started forum to see if there’s any questions I can answer.
-
- ! visit the Targets forum to see if I can learn anything or contribute anything. I develop on a Mac so I’m interested in Mac subforum topics. I develop for iOS so I’m interested in those topics.
-
- I then go on about the rest of my day elsewhere.
